Aircooled VW South Africa

that's the stuff right there.

Boys just came back from a Visit from IMPI and the amount of effort he is putting in to this project is mind blowing it is just making it such a better build at the end of the day

Well done Armand

WHAT COLOR WILL U PAINT IT?

Colour is always an issue
I am leaning towards a light blue but then again the dark blues and dark greys also do it for me lastly there is savannah beige
Problem with frp cars are that they attract dust due to being staticaly charged most of the time. I have watched my Puma become dirty at a show while watching it.

I visited IMPI on Saturday and saw the project again. There is definitely going to be more where that coupe is coming from....you guys better start saving up and get in the line cause there will only be a few lucky people to own an IMPI Coupe 100. Anyone who want to guess what the 100 stands for?

maybe the 100 stands for the number of coupes he'll be making?

WANT!
Price?

I finally painted the rear seat area as well as the inside of the engine compt. this was easily the worst part to fill and smooth 4kg of filler, 3liters of ms and damn sore fingers and hands. this will be the mould for the first real part which will be fie finished further and a proper mould made.




next is the fire wall and dash hopefully a little less work

4kgs of filler?

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

SO AWESOME
CONGRATS

^^^^^ that cabbie is way to high.

Keep it up.. my favourite thread

I removed the rear area from the mould today and as expected had to destroy about 50% in order to get it to release. It was planned this way but it was still K@K to break something that I spent hours on. As one of the features on my car is the fact that I want a smooth engine bay this seems to be achievable now. this part will need to be trimmed dry fitted to the bodyshell and the the production mould taken from that. this is also the point where I have enough parts to complete my car should I decide not to make a full set of moulds. this project has cost me a bundle so far and the moulds will probably add another R40000 in order to be proper high quality Items. I am still toying with the Idea and havent given up just yet.
